> How much do you think a bushel of corn will cost then since the demand will be higher? This will certainly have an effect at the dinner table as energy does not follow the typical supply/demand principles. We may save a little at the pump, but I believe we will pay dearly for everything else that has corn in it.
>That's a great link, thanks curt
I guess we're going to pay more for red meat, since beef has corn in it nowadays? I kind of like grass-fed beef though. Maybe the supply-demand thing will encourage the free-range cattle industry to expand. Right now free-range beef is super expensive. Corn-fed, feedlot beef is toxic to the environment and not the best for our arteries either. But it's great for our checkbooks.
mmm beef.
I ride a bike and walk when possible. so I minimize artery and environmental effects of corn surplus.
